Ingredients
- 1 large piece of pork skin (approx. 2 lbs or 1 kg)
- Salt and spices of choice (suggestion – Chinese five spices)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 F (120 C). If your oven doesn’t go down to this low of a temperature, set it to its lowest temperature and then open the oven door a crack.
- Use a very sharp knife to remove all the fat from the skin.
- You should be left with only the transparent skin.
- Pat both sides dry and trim into smaller pieces (approx. 1″-by-1″).
- Salt the pieces well and place on a wire rack placed over a tray. Place in the oven for 2 hours to dry out.
- Remove the tray from the oven and transfer the pieces onto a clean tray.
- Increase the temperature of the oven to max 440 F (230 C).
- Once at temperature, place the tray into the oven and cook for 5-10 minutes allowing them to pop. (Alternatively, you can pop the pork rinds by shallow frying them for 3-5 minutes in olive oil, lard, coconut oil, avocado oil.)
- Season with salt and spices of your choosing.
- Allow to cool completely before storing in a sealed container. Makes approx. 30-50 pieces.
